DISK.      HARROW 


The  Disk  Harrow 

By  G.  H.  ALFORD 
Manager  of  Southern  Branch  Office  International  Harvester  Company  of  America 


THE  Indiana,  Illinois  and  Iowa  farmer  uses 
three  limes  as  many  larm  impleiiieiils  and 
more  tlian  three  times  as  much  horse  power 
as  the  average  farmer  in  the  cotton  belt:  and.  aller 
all  issaid,  this  is  unquestiotiably  the  main  reason  why 
he  earns  more  than  three  times  as  much  as  we  do. 

We  must  use  more  and  better  implements:  there 
can  be  no  argument  here.  The  only  question  is  as 
to  which  are  worth  most  and  which  will  pay  liest. 
We  call  your  attention  to  the  disk  harrow,  an  imple- 
ment tliat  can  be  i)urchased  at  half  the  cost  of  a 
good  riding  cultivator  and  an  implement  that  can  be 
used  for  twelve  months  every  year. 

There  was  a  time  wlien  the  few  farmers  wlio 
owned  disk  harrows  used  them  to  prepare  new  land 
and  to  destroy  clods.  The  intensive  methods  of 
farming  have  brought  to  light  many  new  uses  for 
the  disk  harrow.  A  reversible  disk  harrow  can  be 
used  as  a  stalk  cutter,  as  an  implement  for  prepar- 
ing the  seed  bed  on  sandy  land  and  preparing  the 
seed  bed  after  breaking  on  all  kinds  of  land,  and 
then  used  to  cultivate  tlie  crop. 

A  sharp  disk  does  a  fine  job  of  cutting  cotton  and 
corn  stalks  when  they  are  dry.  It  is  tlie  best  possible 
implement  to  use  in  preparing  a  cotton  stalk  and 
corn  stalk  field  for  the  plow.  Of  course,  it  is  best  to 
use  the  stalk  cutter  first,  but  after  the  stalk  cutter 
lias  been  used  to  cut  the  stalks  into  pieces,  the  sharp 
disks  do  a  fine  job  of  cutting  the  stalks  into  smaller 
pieces,  level  the  ridges  and  form  a  fine  mulch.  To 
get  the  land  ready  for  the  plow,  the  gangs  should  be 
set  close  and  rini  lengthwise  over  the  rows  to  cut  the 
stalks  into  very  short  pieces  and  pulverize  the  top  of 
the  soil. 

The  disk  is  used  on  unplowed  land  for  tlie  follow- 
ing purposes:  First,  to  prepare  mellow  land  for 
grain  and  other  crops  where  deep  plowing  is  seldom 
necessary,  second,  to  cut  and  mi.K  barnyard  manure, 
grass  and  trash  so  tiiat  when  it  is  turned  under, 
the  surface  soil  will  not  be  seiiarated  from  the  sub- 
soil to  stop  the  rise  of  water;  third,  to  produce  a 
soil  mulch  on  dry  land  so  that  after  a  week  or  ten 
days,  it  can  be  easily  plowed,  the  moisture  by  this 
time  having  accumulated  below  the  mulch  and 
softened  up  the  land:  fourth,  to  form  a  mulch  of 
fine  dirt  which  fills  up  the  spaces  usually  left  be- 
tween the  funowed  slice  and  the  ground  beneath, 
thus  making  the  foundation  for  a  fine,  compact  see<l 
bed. 

In  the  spring  we  are  all  in  a  rush  to  get  our 
crops  planted.  Our  plow  teams  are  overworked  and 
even  the  best  farmers  often  fail  to  thoroughly  pre- 
pare their  land.  It  is  much  better  to  take  time  by 
the  forelock  and  disk  the  land  and  then  break  it 
deep  during  the  fall  and  winter.  The  plow  stock 
are  rested  and  the  weather  is  cool.  When  the  land 
has  been  broken  during  tlie  fall  and  winter  and  for 


some  time  prior  to  planting,  the  cotton  seed  bed  can 
be  (juickly  and  easily  made  Ijy  arranging  the  disk 
harrow  for  an  in-throw  and  by  adjusting  the  inner 
ends  of  the  gangs  liigher  than  the  outer.  With  the 
liarrow  so  arranged,  a  man  and  two  good  animals 
can  make  much  better  seed  beds  and  do  the  work 
more  quickly  than  several  men  iti  the  old  fashioned 
way. 

Cotton  comes  up  quicker,  grows  faster  and  begins 
bearing  sooner  on  a  well-settled,  firm  seed  bed.  con- 
sequently it  is  not  wise  to  plant  cotton  or  other 
crops  on  freshly  plowed  land.  When  the  beds  have 
been  made  by  the  use  of  the  middle  burster  or  turn- 
ing plow  for  some  time  before  planting,  it  is  usually 
necessary  to  remake  them  and  destroy  the  little 
grass  and  weeds  by  arranging  the  disk  liarrow  for  an 
in-throw  and  adjusting  tlie  inner  ends  of  tlie  gangs 
considerably  higher  than  the  outer. 

If  the  land  has  been  Hat  broken  and  has  been  com- 
pacted by  heavy  rains,  the  disk  harrow  is  the  most 
effective  tool  for  the  preparation  of  the  seed  bed. 
When  the  ground  has  been  plowed  for  some  time 
and  is  covered  with  grass  and  weeds,  the  disk  liar- 
row will  destroy  the  weeds  and  make  a  most  excellent 
seed  bed  for  all  kinds  of  crops.  Tlie  soil  that  is  in 
clods  when  you  plant  cotton,  corn  and  otlier  crops 
will  seldom  be  of  use  to  you  during  the  season  unless 
you  pulverize  the  clods.  When  the  soil  breaks  up 
into  clods,  by  all  means  follow  the  plow  with  the 
disk  liarrow  and  tlius  destroy  the  clods  while  moist. 
The  disk  harrow  pulverizes  the  soil  thoroughly  and 
if  each  round  is  lapped  no  ridges  of  any  consequence 
will  be  left.  Your  Held  may  lie  cloddy  and  weedy, 
but  a  double  disking  with  a  disk  harrow  or  a  single 
disking  with  a  double  disk  harrow  will  make  a  per- 
fect seed  bed  of  it.  In  the  preparation  of  land  for 
any  crop,  no  tool  can  be  used  to  better  advantage 
than  the  disk  harrow. 

The  disk  harrow  has  special  advantages  over 
smoothing  harrows  in  ground  with  loose  trash  or 
growing  weeds  because  the  disk  cuts  through  the 
trash  instead  of  dragging  it  along. 

Where  seed  is  sown  broadcast,  there  is  no  more 
desirable  tool  than  the  disk  harrow  for  the  purpose 
of  putting  the  seed  into  the  ground.  In  the  absence 
of  the  grain  drill,  the  disk  harrow  is  the  best  pos- 
sible implement  to  use  to  put  in  oats,  rye,  wheat, 
cowpeas,  soy  beans,  and  other  crops  broadcast. 

The  disk  harrow  should  follow  the  mower  to  pul- 
verize the  soil  for  conserving  the  moisture  and  mak- 
ing plowing  easier  It  is  usually  necessary  to  use 
the  plow  in  cowpeas.  soy  beans  or  sorghum  after  oats 
and  the  disk  harrow  is  the  implement  to  use  to  do 
the  work  in  a  hurry  at  this  busy  season  of  the  year. 

A  tongue  and  forecarriage  should  be  purchased 
with  every  disk  harrow.  The  forecarriage  is  to  be 
preferred  when  preparing  the  seed  bed.  It  is  a  great 
aid   in  turning  corners  and  at  the  end  of  the  row 


A22K 


It  is  also  a  decided  advantage  for  tlie  team  to  have 
relief  from  the  weight  and  lashing  of  the  tongue  of 
the  liairow.  When eultivatingerups  and  wlien  using 
the  hainiw  on  hilly  land,  tlie  tongue  is  necessary  to 
guide  the  harrow. 

The  deiith  to  which  the  disk  cuts  and  the  amount 
of  dirt  thrown  varies  with  the  angle  given  the  disk, 
tlie  kind  <if  Soil,  and  the  weight  of  the  man  on  the 
harrow.  The  draft  of  the  disk  harrow  as  generallv 
used  is  considerahle,  for  it  moves  much  dirt,  anil 
often  cuts  to  a  depth  of  several  inches.  Its  best 
work  is  geiiei'ally  done  with  three  or  more  animals, 
though  two  animals  may  do  well  on  a  harrow  with 
no  more  than  s,  in  or  is-'inch  disks.  When  cultivat- 
ing crops  there  is  no  necessity  for  more  than  two 
good  animals. 

As  a  cultivator,  the  reversible  extension  head  disk 
harrow  cannot  be  excelled.  The  gangs  can  be  used 
close  together  or  wide  apart:  the  gangs  can  be 
arranged  to  throw  the  dirt  towards  or  away  from 
the  plants  and  to  \\(nk  liigher  or  lower  on  the  inner 
than  the  outer  ends  and  vice  versa;  they  can  be  set 
to  thnivv  ridges  to  the  plants  or  set  to  '•bar  off:" 
they  can  be  set  to  cut  shallow  close  to  tlie  plants 
and  deei)er  near  the  center  of  the  row. 

The  action  of  the  disks  upon  the  .soil  makes  the 
disk  harrow  a  most  excellent  cultivatoi'.  The  disks 
thoroughly  pulverize  the  surface  of  the  soil,  destroy 
the  grass  and  weeds,  leave  the  inider  .soil  compact 
and  a  line  soil  midch  spread  all  over  the  land.  The 
roots  of  the  growing  plants  are  undisturbed,  es- 
pecially wlien  the  inner  ends  of  the  gangs  are  set 
higher  tlian  the  outer  ends  in  cultivating  plants  on 
beds. 

For  cultivatingcotton,  potatoes,  peanuts  and  other 
crops  that  iiave  to  be  hilled,  the  disk  harrow  is 
especially  vaUuible  becau.se  it  can  be  set  to  ridge  the 
hills  at  the  right  height  and  the  dirt  which  is  hilled 
around  tlie  plants  is  thoroughlv  pulverized  and 
cultivated,  so  that  only  tine  .soit  makes  the  hills.  A 
fender  may  be  used  when  cultivating  small  croi)S. 
The  disk  harrow  is  prol)ably  the  best  implement  to 
use  in  hilling  cotton  and  otlier  crops  grown  on 
ridges. 

A  turning  plow  is  out  of  place  in  a  crop.  If  the 
soil  is  devoid  of  vegetable  matter  and  runs  together 
alter  a  lieavy  rain  or  if  it  rains  for  two  or  three 
weeks  and  it  becomes  necessary  to  burv  grass,  W'e 
can  give  a  large  angle  to  the  disks  and  .set  the  gangs 
to  oul-thr<iw  and  ••  bar  off  the  little  cotton  or  other 
small  plants  or  we  can  set  the  gangs  to  in-throw  and 
give  the  disks  the  necessary  angle  to  cover  the  grass 
and  weeds  and  tlioroughly  pulverize  the  soil.  One 
man  with  two  horses  and  a  disk  harrow  can  take  a 
row  of  cotton  or  corn  at  one  time  and  destroy  the 
grass  and  weeds  and  make  a  fine  soil  mulch  out  of 
the  hardest,  sun-baked  soil.  An  extension  standard 
is  furnished  with  the  latest  reversible  extension 
head  harrow  whicli  raises  the  frame  high  enough  so 
tiiat  cotton,  coi'n  or  other  crops  can  be  "laid  by" 
with  this  implement. 

The  gangs  can  be  .set  at  different  angles  for  hill- 
side cultivation.  This  is  a  very  important  point  to 
the  man  who.se  faim  is  in  a  rolling  countrv,  as  he 
will  appreciate  the  fact  that  a  di.sk  liarrow,  particu- 
larly in  loose  .soil,  will  tend  to  work  down  the  liill- 
Side.  This  can  be  obviated  by  setting  the  uphill 
gang  to  work  with  a  little  greater  cutting  angle 
tlian  the  other  gang:  thus  causing  the  harrow  to 
work  in  a  straight  line  on  tlie  hillside.

New  Southern  Disk  Harrow 

THK  New  8()utliPi-ii  disk  liarrow  is 
<iiie  of  the  best  implements  the 
farmer  can  select.  It  can  he 
used  for  ordinary  disking,  and  will  do 
any  of  the  work  that  an  ordinary  disk 
harrow  will  do.  In  addition,  it  can  l)e 
used  as  an  e.xtension  disk  harrow  for 
cultivating  corn  and  cotton  fields,  vine- 
yards, orchards,  etc.  It  can  he  used  in 
iri-iyation  woi-k  for  making  ditches  or 
ridg(>s,  or  for  leveling  them,  smoothing 
the  ground  afterward. 

The  New  Southern  is  jjarticularly 
valual)le  as  a  cultivator  for  coi-n  and 
cotton.  By  means  of  the  extension 
standards,  which  can  be  furnished  with 
this  machine  on  special  order  at  a  slight 
additional  cost,  all  of  the  cultivation  of 
the  coin  crop  can  he  done  with  the  New 
Southern  disk  harrow.  Before  and  after 
plowing  the  New  vSouthern  can  be  used 
for  every  operation  in  the  preparation 
of  the  seed  hed  and  in  the  cultivation  of 
the  crop. 
The  gangs  on  the  New  Southern  disk  harrow  can  be  reversed,  making  it  an  in-throw  or  out- 
throw  disk  liarrow.    Thus  it  can  be  used  for  throwing  the  dirt  away  from  the  plants,  or  toward  them. 


New  S«jiithern  disk  harrow  has  a  strong  frame  with 
a  direct  pull  to  the  gangs 


Main   Frame 

The  main  frame  of  the  New  Southern  disk  har- 
row is  steel.  It  consists  essentially  of  a  large  rear 
angle,  which  is  curved  in  the  arc  of  a  circle  at  the 
ends,  so  that  tiie  gangs  can  be  extended  easily. 
There  are  also  two  side  angles  which  are  pivoted  at 
the  forward  end,  and  which  carry  the  set  levers. 
These  side  angles  make  the  draft  direct  to  the  gang 
castings  at  all  times,  relieving  the  frame  of  the  greater 
part  of  the  work.  The  set  levers  being  carried  on 
the  side  angles,  it  is  unnecessary  to  change  the  posi- 
tion of  the  levers  and  fpiadnint  when  changing  the 
width  of  cut. 

On  the  New  Southern  disk  harrow  it  is  an  etisy 
matter  to  change  the  gangs  from  in-throw  to  out- 
throw,  or  the  reverse.  To  do  this,  the  set  lever  bar 
and  draw-bar  are  removed,  and  the  gangs  turned  end 
for  end.  The  castings  which  hold  the  gtings  have  a 
quadrant  with  a  serrated  grip,  so  that  the  gangs  can 
be  tilted  either  way.  An.v  desired  amount  of  tilt  can 
be  given  the  gangs.     Thus,   when  cultivating  plants

the  disks  can  so  be  set  that  they  will  not  penetrate 
the  jfi-OLind  deep  enouirh  to  injure  the  growing 
pliints.     Cotton  ori-ovvcrs  can  use  the  New  .South- 
ern disk  harrow  for  making  the  cotton  seed  bed 
and  for  cultivatino-  the  plants.     The  great  advan- 
tage of  using  this  implement  over  the 
ordinary  method  of  preparing  the  cot- 
ton  seed    bed,    is   that  the    ground 
thoroughly    pulverized,    making 
a  compact   ridge  for  the  cotton 
seed-  something  which  it  is  im- 
possible to  do   b.v  the  ordinary 
method.      The    benefit    directly 
derived  from  this  is  that  when 
it   is    necessary  to    prepare    the 
seed   bed   hurriedly    the   farmer 
can  do  so,  knowing  that  the  ridge 
is  in  the  best  condition  for  capil- 
larity connection  with  the  subsoil. 


Ease  of  Operation 


The  seat  is  so  located  that  the  levei-s  ar-e  at  all 

times   within    convenient    reach    of    the    driver, 

whether  the  gangs  are  close  together  or  far  apart. 

This  position  of  the  seat  also  balances  the  weight  of 

the  harrow,  making  the  work  of  the  liorses  easier. 

The  New  Southern  has  an  adjustable  foot  rest, 

making   the   harrow  comf<»rtable  for  any  driver. 

The  levers  are  long,  and  are  easy  to  operate.    Their 

quadrants  have  fine    notciies   so    that   the 

gangs  can  be  set  very  closely. 

Bearings 

The  bearings  are  e(|uipped 
with  oil-soaked,  hardwood  bush- 
ings. The  large  oil  pipes  which 
extend  to  the  top  of  the  gang- 
frame,  where  they  can  be  easily 
reached  from  behind  the  har- 
row, enter  the  bearings  at   the 

centci-  so  that  the  oil  flows  evenly  to  all  parts  of  the  bearings,  lubricating  them  thoroughlv.     The 

top  of  each  oil  pipe  is 

closed   by  a  spring  stop-  "^^^  following  table  shows  the  width  of  cut  of  different  sizes   of  the

Extension  Standards 

ON  special  order,  and  at  slight  addititmal 
cost,  extension  standards  will  be  fur- 
nished for  the   New   Southern  disk 
uurow.     These  extension  standards  consist 
of  a  ptiir  of  steel  bars  so  arranged  that  the 
frame  of  the  harrow  is  carried  high  above  the 
ground  out  of  the  way  of  the 
growing  plants.     The  use  of 
these  standaids  make  it  pos- 
sible to  use  the  New  Southern 
disk  harrow    for   all    of   the 
cultivation  of  an  entire  crop 
of  corn  or  cotton,  as  the  frame 
is  carried  high  enough  for  the 
corn  or  cotton  to  pass  under 
without  damage.     It  is  but  a 
few  moments'  work  to  attach 
or  detach  the  extension  stand- 
ards, and  they  occupy  practi- 
cally no  storage  space  when 
not  in  use.

in  keeping  the  disks  clean  under 
all  conditions.

Forecarriagc  for  New  Southern  Disk  Harrow 


NEARLY  nil  fields  are  so  rou<>-h  sis  to  cause  the  disk 
luiirow  to  di-aw  unsteadily  and  tiie  tongue  to  whip  and 
worry  the  horses,  giving  them  sore  shoulders  during 
early  spring  work.  It  is  to  free  the  horses  of  this  action  ai 
the  tongue  and  varying  draft  of  the  disk  harrow  that  this 
forecarriage  is  being  purchased  with  most  of  the  disk  har- 
rows sold,  or  for  disk  harrows  already  in  field  use.  It 
keeps  the  hai-row  running  smoothly  and  in  line,  and  makes 
It  easier  to  work  in  the  corners  and  close  to  fences.

Used   With   or  Without  a   Pole 

The  forecarriage  is  used  with  or  without  a  pole.  A  pole  is  essential 
only  in  very  hilly  country  when  di'iving  to  and  from  fields.  It  is  i-egularly 
equipped  with  pole  plates  for  two  horses  when  a  tongue  is  oi-dered.  Set- 
over  irons  for  three  horses  are  special  pole  e(|uipment.  When  a  pole 
with  set-over  irons  is  used  it  ma.v  be  set  in  the  centei-  for  two  horses,  or 
to  the  i-ight  or  left  for  three  horses.  The  wheels  tui-n  completely  under 
the  stub  tongue  to  make  a  short  turn. 

Adjusting  the  Forecarriage  to  the  Harrow  and  Team 

The  disk  harrow  forecarriage  should  be  adjusted  to  simply  cari-y  the 
fi'ont  end  of  the  harrow  and  keep  it  working  in  line  without  adding  to 
the  di'aft  of  the  implement.  The  stub  tongue  and  the  draft  connection 
are  adjustable  to  several  heights  on  the  vertical  shaft.  The  steel  clevis 
has  a  range  of  up-and-down  adjustment,  thus  the  forecarriage  is  suited 
to  use  with  any  size  team.  The  clevis  is  so  attached  to  the  draft  connec- 
tion as  to  hold  the  whiliietrees  off  the  ground  and  the  horses'  heels.  To 
action   of  the    forecarriage,  the  vertical    shaft 


Axle   Bearings 

The  axle  bearings  are  dust  proof  and  equipiied  with  hai'd  oilers. 
When  given  proper  attention,  hard  oil  is  the  Ijest  lubricant  for  this 
kind  of  bearing.  Forcing  the  new  grease  in  di-ives  the  old  grease  out, 
keeping  the  bearings  clean.  The  stub  axles  are  cast  in  the  wheel  hubs 
with  the    spokes.     The  inner  ends  of  the  axles  ai-e  keyed  with  take- 

ui)  washci's  to  compensate  foi' 
wear.  The  forecari-iage  with 
pole  and  pole  plates  for  two 
liorses  is  furnished  on  special 
oi'der,  at  slight  additional  cost. 
Set-ovei-  ii'ons  for  two,  three  or 
more  hoi-ses  may  also  be  had  on 
special  oi'der.
